Hindi still hasn't evolved a modern colloquial idiom for love-making. It lacks words for sex. In a Hindi story of the 1970s, the male
protagonist asks his wife, 'Bahut tension hai, honey. Kya oblige
karogi?' Is that really how we speak in the bedroom? Do we do anything
in the bedroom at all?

The figures available from the National Crime Records Bureau tell a different story. According to the NCRB in 2013, the number of sex crimes committed by 16-18 year olds was only 2,838 out of 100,000 cases.
